New to BYC/ Best New England egg layers?

[jk_vt]

Hello all - long time listener, first time caller!

We are a family of 3 new to raising Chickens and live in Vermont. We are looking at increasing the flock this spring and would love to hear people's experiences with raising friendly, egg layer hens for our New England weather. We are thinking of buying some chicks soon...... Any suggestions are welcome!
